Manchester City is planning to overhaul its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the positions set for changes is the goalkeeper. Pep Guardiola has requested the signing of Diogo Costa, current goalkeeper for Porto, as a replacement for Ederson, who may depart in the summer after several years guarding the Citizen's goal.
According to reports, the English club has already started talks to assess the feasibility of signing the Portuguese goalkeeper, who has established himself as a key player for both Porto and the national team. Despite having a contract until 2027, his departure won't be easy, but City is willing to make an economic effort to bolster their goalkeeping with a player who has shown solidity and agility between the posts.
Pep Guardiola Wants to Sign Diogo Costa
At 25 years old, Diogo Costa has been instrumental at Porto, keeping 15 clean sheets in 34 matches played this season. His ability to make crucial saves and his proficiency with his feet make him an ideal fit for Guardiola's style, which requires a goalkeeper capable of contributing to the team's build-up from the back.
City's interest in the Portuguese goalkeeper stems from the need to revamp a position where Ederson has been undisputed for years but whose future at the club seems to be approaching its end. With the summer transfer market on the horizon, the sky blues are working on restructuring their squad, and the arrival of Diogo Costa could be one of the first major moves for the next campaign.
